As the organ plays it can change the sound of the pipes. It has three sounds. The pipes sound normally. The sound of a Kazoo. And a third sound with super tremolo.

In addition to the pipes here is a list of the additional percussion instruments:

  • Wood Block with two Wooden knockers
  • Triangle
  • Snare Drum with wooden knocker
  • The same Snare Drum with Wire Brush Knocker
  • Cymbal
  • Large Bass Drum
  • Tambourine
  • Four Temple Bells - Wooden "bells" in four sizes each with a knocker
  • The Accordion. It plays and sounds great. It is actually played by the organ. It looks neat, when the keys and buttons are moving as the Accordion is "squeezed in and out" by the organ.

         The pumps, pipes, Accordion and all additional instruments were totally disassembled and rebuilt by Howard Wyman. The organ has a great voice. It always played well and currently functions perfectly.

    The case was restored and painted by a local professional that has painted many mechanical music machines. Additionally, all the gold is real gold leaf.

Priced to sell at $25,000.
